Maison De Montille, Chablis Grand Cru, Preuses, Domaine de Montille 2019
We can’t think of another address in Burgundy that has such strength in its domaine whites and Cote de Beaune reds (and the highly sought after Vosne Romanée ‘Malconsorts’ cherry on top) and we are delighted to carry a good selection from across their portfolio. Brian is rightly pleased with the domaine’s wines again this year commenting on a good balance of acidity and alcohol but adding a note of caution about climate change: 2019 was one of the driest vintages on record and he suggests Burgundy is in “ in a window right now. Pinot Noir is a delicate variety and we need more water and less sun ”. Overall he preferred slightly fewer whole bunches and less new oak than 2018. Etienne adds that 2019 has a “ classic textural character ” and was “ a consensual vintage – everyone could make the style of wine they wanted, unlike the last three vintages, here there is something for everyone ”. The latter is certainly true here at de Montille with chiselled, polished reds and racy but juicy whites. Once again Beaune 1er Cru (both colours) continues to over-perform and offer exceptional value.
Meursault 'Les Vignes Blanches', Domaine Clos de la Chapelle 2023
"Honeysuckle and light reduction on the nose give way to a round, long palate. The 65-year-old vines in deep clay soils impart richness and complexity." Our note This is our second vintage representing the wonderful Clos de la Chapelle, an exciting new domaine born in Volnay. Certified organic and practicing biodynamics, the domaine specialises in small-batch, terroir-expressive wines from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. "The marketplace has not yet quite fully woken up to Domaine Clos de la Chapelle, but judging by some of their 2017s (and since) it really should." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy The 2023 vintage, harvested under perfect conditions, highlights their signature style of freshness, salinity, and fine tannins. These wines are approachable in their youth but have the structure to develop beautifully with age.
